FY10 SRB Levels Announced
August 27th, 2009
As expected, the Navy Selective Re-enlistment Bonus program (SRB) seems to be making a comeback for 2010. NAVADMIN 250/09 states without surprise, “Contingent upon receipt of congressional defense appropriations for FY10 or enactment of a continuing resolution authority, levels listed in para 4 below are effective as of 01 October 2009 and pre-certification requests will be accepted 35-120 days prior to the desired reenlistment date.” Congress needs to ensure they get the 2010 Defense Budget in front of the President for signature prior to the beginning of FY-2010. So far the defense budget has hit only a few snags but should be ready in plenty of time making a continuing resolution unnecessary (my fingers are crossed 
).
NAVADMIN 250/09 has been superseded by NAVADMIN 028/10 as of 22 Jan 2010. (Read the rest of the story…)

Navy SRB Suspended Until FY 2010
June 11th, 2009
The good news is the Navy is retaining a very high quality workforce, the bad news is bonuses for reenlisting in FY-2009 have been suspended.
From the NAVADMIN, “Temporarily suspending the SRB program and the acceptance of any new requests for the remainder of this fiscal year. These changes are effective immediately. Those requests which have been received by pers-811 through OPINS prior to 1600 central daylight time, 10 June 2009, will still be processed IAW refs a, b and c.”

Navy Stabilizes Force
March 19th, 2009
First comment is, Add the American Forces Press Service with the Navy Times that should capitalize Sailor!
Prologue: When retention and recruiting do well it has been the manpower gurus natural response to pull billets from recruiting duty, reducing the workforce by as much as 25% or more. Then when times get tough the knee jerks the other way and those same manpower gurus pump the force, seemingly over night, back to the numbers we see today. Often times the increase in the size of the force is too late. One example is 1997 and there are many others.
Hopefully we have learned our lessons of the past.
Onward.

NEW Lower SRB Levels
March 12th, 2009
The $90,000 cap for Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB) and new lower multiples will become effective 1 May 2009. All SRB award levels NOT listed below are reduced or remain at zero.
The drop in levels, I would think, are not budget related as much as manning levels in the rates that experienced a drop. The SRB has always been a retention tool, retention good in a rating – little to no bonus. Retention and recruiting are at levels we have not seen in years.

Hard EAOS and SRB
January 9th, 2009
NAVADMIN 006/09 was released today placing a re-enlistment requirement of 90 days from the end of your obligated service (EAOS) for getting your selective reenlistment bonus (SRB). At least one of the exceptions is Sailors who are eligible for combat zone tax exclusion (CZTE) or serving in a qualified hazardous duty area (HDA) and have a hard EAOS that falls in the most current fiscal year are not subject to the 90-day rolling window of eligibility and are authorized to reenlist anytime within the fiscal year. These Sailors, along with command career counselors must annotate in the remarks section of the pre-certification request whether they are currently CZTE eligible or serving in a qualified HDA. A condition of approval of this pre-certification request is that the Sailor’s reenlistment occurs in a month during which CZTE or HDA qualification applies. Here is the NAVADMIN in its entirety; (Read the rest of the story…)
